Impala is a terminal user interface (TUI) application written in Rust for managing Wi-Fi connections on Linux via the iwd daemon. It supports station and access point modes, WPA Enterprise (802.1X), hidden networks, and QR code network sharing.

Use cases

• manage wifi from the terminal on linux
• connect to wireless networks using iwd
• scan and join hidden wifi networks
• share wifi credentials via QR code
• configure WPA Enterprise 802.1X connections
• run a linux access point from the terminal
• replace NetworkManager wifi management with a TUI

When to choose

• you use iwd as your wireless daemon on Linux and want a terminal UI
• you prefer keyboard-driven wifi management over GUI applets
• you need 802.1X enterprise wifi or AP mode in a TUI
• you run a minimal Linux setup without NetworkManager

When to avoid

• your system manages wifi with NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant instead of iwd
• you need a graphical wifi manager
• you are on macOS, Windows, or BSD
